If money is a concern maybe go for a blonde mac and hand pick it yourself so you yourself can judge it's temperament.There will always e exceptions to the rule where people own what are recommended as the most placid of snakes that bite but overall i have to say BHP's and Womas.You can get very tame jungles but they're a bit unpredictable as well but always remember or don't forget how strong the feeding responses are even of the most placid natured snaks so wash your hands etc before handling..hope that helps!!!
have you ever had an olive they get big enough not to get bored of
